Yes! Goal! Whoohoo! Yay!

0:00:570:01:00

Oh, hello there.

0:01:000:01:01

I'm just playing table football and I'm celebrating

0:01:010:01:05

because I just scored a goal. Yes!

0:01:050:01:07

BEEPING

0:01:070:01:09

I hear a beep, I see a flash, I wonder what they're going to ask.

0:01:090:01:13

-BOTH: Hi, Nina.

-Hi.

0:01:150:01:17

We've got a question for you.

0:01:170:01:19

Why do we play football in a team?

0:01:190:01:22

That's a great question. Why do we play football in a team?

0:01:220:01:26

I love playing football, and it's great to play with your friends.

0:01:260:01:30

But why do you play in a team?

0:01:300:01:32

Why don't you come down to my lab and we'll investigate?

0:01:320:01:36

BOTH: See you soon, Nina. Bye.

0:01:360:01:38

Bye.

0:01:380:01:39

Well, I'm going to need some help to answer this one

0:01:390:01:43

and I know just who to ask.

0:01:430:01:44

OK, Neurons. Time to get to work.

0:01:440:01:47

ALL: Neurons at the ready, Nina.

0:02:010:02:03

OK. Today's question is "Why do we play football in a team?"

0:02:030:02:07

Now which Neuron will be most useful

0:02:070:02:10

in helping us find the answer?

0:02:100:02:12

ALL: Me! Me!

0:02:120:02:14

Will it be fabulous Felix?

0:02:140:02:16

I can help so very much, if you need the sense of touch.

0:02:160:02:20

Will it be beautiful Belle?

0:02:200:02:22

I send messages to brain from ear.

0:02:220:02:24

If there's a sound, I'll help you hear.

0:02:240:02:27

Will it be lovely Luke?

0:02:270:02:28

For looking and seeing, day or night

0:02:280:02:31

I'll help you with your sense of sight.

0:02:310:02:33

Will it be awesome Ollie?

0:02:330:02:35

If it's pongy or whiffy but you can't tell

0:02:350:02:38

my messages help your sense of smell.

0:02:380:02:40

Or will it be baby Bud?

0:02:400:02:42

Sour, salty, bitter or sweet. I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.

0:02:420:02:47

It's Luke.

0:02:510:02:53

ALL: Go, Luke! Go Luke! Go, Luke!

0:02:530:02:58

Cool, Nina. I'll be looking out to help you.

0:03:010:03:04

Today's question is why do we play football in a team?

0:03:040:03:07

Because football players need to see the ball,

0:03:070:03:10

Luke, our sight Neuron will help us.

0:03:100:03:12

But stand by, Neurons.

0:03:120:03:14

I've a feeling I may need help from you all.

0:03:140:03:16

Right. I need to get the lab ready before the experimenters arrive.

0:03:160:03:21

Kingsley likes riding his bike.

0:03:220:03:25

Safiye loves painting.

0:03:250:03:27

I like playing football in the park.

0:03:270:03:30

I like scoring goals.

0:03:300:03:32

But they both want to know, "Why do we play football in a team?"

0:03:320:03:36

So today, for one day only,

0:03:360:03:38

Safiye and Kingsley become the experimenters.

0:03:380:03:42

-Hi, guys.

-BOTH: Hi, Nina.

0:03:460:03:48

Welcome to my lab, and thank you for your question,

0:03:480:03:51

"Why do we play football in a team?"

0:03:510:03:53

To find out, let's start by using our senses.

0:03:530:03:57

ALL: Whoop whoo! A senses experiment.

0:03:570:03:59

ALL: We're ready, Nina.

0:03:590:04:01

First, let's have a look at a football match.

0:04:010:04:04

-Now, how many teams are there?

-Two.

0:04:050:04:07

That's right. Two teams play against each other.

0:04:070:04:10

Players wear different colours,

0:04:100:04:12

so everyone knows what team they belong to.

0:04:120:04:15

Otherwise they might get confused,

0:04:150:04:17

and kick the ball to the wrong player, Nina.

0:04:170:04:20

Exactly, Luke.

0:04:200:04:21

Each team tries to kick the ball into the other team's goal.

0:04:210:04:25

They also try to stop the ball from going into their own goal.

0:04:250:04:28

The goalkeepers try to stop the ball

0:04:280:04:31

and they're the only people

0:04:310:04:32

who are allowed to touch the ball.

0:04:320:04:35

It's really important to have a plan when you're playing in a team.

0:04:350:04:39

So let's do an experiment to find out why.

0:04:390:04:41

What a terrible mess you've left the lab in today, Nina.

0:04:410:04:45

That's not mess, Felix. That's our experiment.

0:04:450:04:48

Experimenters, we are going to pick up all of these beanbags

0:04:480:04:52

and put them into this bucket.

0:04:520:04:54

And we need to do it as quick as we can,

0:04:540:04:56

and without talking to each other. OK?

0:04:560:04:59

-Are you ready?

-BOTH: Yeah.

0:04:590:05:01

Go!

0:05:010:05:03

Oh.

0:05:040:05:06

Oh. Sorry.

0:05:090:05:11

-THEY LAUGH

-Oh sorry. Sorry, Kingsley.

0:05:110:05:15

I'll get that one.

0:05:190:05:20

Oh, there's one over here.

0:05:220:05:24

Quickly. Last one. Last one.

0:05:240:05:27

Go, go, go, go.

0:05:270:05:28

And stop!

0:05:280:05:29

Well done, experimenters. We did that in 33 seconds.

0:05:290:05:34

But I think we can do it even quicker, and with fewer bumps,

0:05:340:05:38

if we make a plan.

0:05:380:05:40

A plan? That sounds like a great idea.

0:05:400:05:44

So what should our plan be?

0:05:440:05:45

There are three bits. Why don't we take one each?

0:05:450:05:49

That's a great idea.

0:05:490:05:50

So, Safiya, you take all the bags from this side here,

0:05:500:05:53

and Kingsley, you can collect the ones from the middle,

0:05:530:05:57

and I'll collect all the beanbags from my side.

0:05:570:06:00

OK. Brilliant plan.

0:06:000:06:01

Te-e-e-e-eam...

0:06:010:06:03

ALL: Nina! Whoohoo!

0:06:030:06:04

-Right. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

0:06:060:06:08

Go!

0:06:080:06:09

Go, go, go!

0:06:260:06:27

One more. One more.

0:06:270:06:29

Stop!

0:06:290:06:30

Guys, that was brilliant. And do you know what?

0:06:300:06:33

We did it much quicker. We did it in... 23 seconds!

0:06:330:06:37

We knocked a whole ten seconds off. Yay! Well done.

0:06:370:06:40

Because we shared the work, and covered different areas,

0:06:400:06:44

we didn't waste time going for the same beanbag.

0:06:440:06:47

And it's the same in football.

0:06:470:06:48

Players cover different areas of the football pitch.

0:06:480:06:52

Some players are mostly trying to score goals, while others,

0:06:520:06:56

like the goalkeeper, are trying to stop the other team

0:06:560:06:59

from scoring goals.

0:06:590:07:00

Making a plan is really important in team sports

0:07:000:07:03

so that everyone knows what to do.

0:07:030:07:05

If you don't make a plan, you might end up bumping into each other.

0:07:050:07:10

So team players all have different jobs, and cover different areas.

0:07:100:07:14

That's right, Neurons. Let's go somewhere special to find out more.

0:07:140:07:19

Here we go. I can't wait to see where we'll end up today.

0:07:220:07:26

Nina said it's a big special place.

0:07:260:07:29

I hope we're going to a restaurant.

0:07:290:07:31

Oh goody. We haven't been to a restaurant in ages.

0:07:310:07:35

-It doesn't look like a restaurant, Neurons.

-We're here

0:07:350:07:39

So, to answer your question, why do we play football in a team,

0:07:400:07:44

we've come to this cool football pitch.

0:07:440:07:46

Now you might play football in the park, or in the garden,

0:07:460:07:50

but most football teams play on a pitch like this one.

0:07:500:07:53

-It's huge, isn't it?

-BOTH: Yeah.

0:07:530:07:55

One player couldn't possibly be everywhere on this pitch at once.

0:07:550:07:59

So that's why a football team need to work together to cover

0:07:590:08:03

different areas just like we did earlier.

0:08:030:08:06

So let's have a look at this.

0:08:060:08:08

These players are practising two of the most important skills

0:08:080:08:12

that footballers need.

0:08:120:08:13

Passing the ball, and dribbling.

0:08:130:08:16

Dribbling? Bud's brilliant at that, Nina.

0:08:160:08:19

Especially when I see cake.

0:08:190:08:22

Not that kind of dribbling.

0:08:220:08:23

Dribbling is when you run with the ball, kicking it along.

0:08:230:08:27

It's a great way to move the ball around the pitch

0:08:270:08:30

while keeping control of the ball.

0:08:300:08:32

But if a player dribbled all the time,

0:08:320:08:35

it wouldn't be the best thing for the team.

0:08:350:08:37

Let's do an experiment to find out why.

0:08:370:08:40

When we play football, we play against another team.

0:08:400:08:43

These players, Karen and Page, are going to try

0:08:430:08:46

and get in your way and stop you moving forward with the ball.

0:08:460:08:50

So you guys need to work as a team to get the ball past them.

0:08:500:08:54

Kingsley, you're starting

0:08:540:08:56

and you'll dribble the ball forward.

0:08:560:08:59

Remember, we don't want the other team getting the ball.

0:08:590:09:02

Here we go!

0:09:020:09:03

WHISTLE

0:09:030:09:05

OK, now. You can try and get the ball around the player,

0:09:070:09:11

or you could pass the ball to Safiya.

0:09:110:09:14

I think the best way to stop the other team getting

0:09:140:09:17

the ball is to pass it to Safiya, so go for it.

0:09:170:09:19

Lovely. Go and get the ball.

0:09:210:09:22

Excellent. Safiya, it's your turn to dribble the ball.

0:09:220:09:26

Oh, no. They just keep getting in the way.

0:09:260:09:29

I think you need to pass the ball again.

0:09:290:09:31

Who are they going to pass it to?

0:09:310:09:33

Kingsley, can you move forward

0:09:330:09:36

and then Safiya will pass the ball to you.

0:09:360:09:38

Go for it. That's it.

0:09:380:09:40

Move forward so Safiya can pass you the ball.

0:09:400:09:43

Go, Safiya!

0:09:430:09:44

Go on, Kingsley!

0:09:440:09:46

THEY CHEER

0:09:470:09:49

Brilliant teamwork. Now what has that experiment shown us?

0:09:490:09:53

Sometimes it's better to pass the ball.

0:09:530:09:55

That's right.

0:09:550:09:57

Often, it's safer to pass the ball,

0:09:570:09:59

than try and dribble the ball around someone

0:09:590:10:02

who's trying to take the ball from you.

0:10:020:10:05

It's often best to pass when you see

0:10:050:10:07

a player from the other team coming to get the ball.

0:10:070:10:10

The team need to keep passing the ball to move the ball up the pitch.

0:10:100:10:15

And then they can score a goal.

0:10:150:10:17

But football isn't just about scoring.

0:10:170:10:20

It's also about trying to stop the other team scoring.

0:10:200:10:23

Let's do one final experiment to find out more.

0:10:230:10:26

This is Rachel.

0:10:280:10:29

She's a goalkeeper.

0:10:290:10:30

Rachel, can I ask you to stand as you would

0:10:300:10:33

if someone was going to score a goal against you.

0:10:330:10:36

Brilliant. Do you see how she's spread out wide.

0:10:360:10:39

She's making herself as big as possible.

0:10:390:10:42

OK, guys. How much of the goal can she reach right now?

0:10:420:10:47

Not very much.

0:10:470:10:48

OK. Interesting.

0:10:480:10:50

Rachel, can I ask you to take five steps forward, please?

0:10:500:10:54

OK. How much of the goal can she reach now?

0:10:580:11:00

All the way to the red.

0:11:000:11:02

There's definitely more of the goal covered now.

0:11:020:11:05

Could you now take three steps forward for me, please.

0:11:050:11:08

Perfect.

0:11:100:11:11

OK, guys. How much of the goal can she reach now?

0:11:110:11:14

All the way to the blue.

0:11:140:11:16

That's right.

0:11:160:11:17

Now that the goalkeeper is closer to us, she's blocking more of the goal.

0:11:170:11:21

Which makes it much harder to kick the ball past her into the goal.

0:11:210:11:25

So, let's see if we can score a goal.

0:11:250:11:28

Oh!

0:11:300:11:31

I'll go! I'll go!

0:11:310:11:33

Aww! That was my chance!

0:11:340:11:36

Aww! Good save.

0:11:380:11:40

Go, Kingsley! Go on, quickly!

0:11:420:11:46

Yeah! Well done, guys.

0:11:460:11:50

-Well done.

-Yeah.

0:11:500:11:51

Thanks, Rachel.

0:11:530:11:54

# Nina and the Neurons #

0:11:560:11:58

So, your question was, "why do we play football in a team?",

0:11:590:12:02

and I think we've answered it.

0:12:020:12:04

Football players have different jobs, and cover different areas.

0:12:040:12:08

So they don't go for the ball at the same time, and bump into each other.

0:12:080:12:13

Ouch! Everyone knows what to do because the team make a plan.

0:12:130:12:17

And when the goalkeeper moves forward, they block more of the goal.

0:12:170:12:21

So I hope that's answered your question.

0:12:210:12:24

BOTH: Thanks, Nina. Bye.

0:12:240:12:26

You're welcome. Bye.

0:12:260:12:28
